The reason our charter demands that I control where legions go is exactly the reason Cicero explained. I cannot allow our legions, which are very expensive, to wander around obviously making war in what ever path it chooses. And as this curia divides itself and we do nothing but bicker on useless arguments, it would take ages for us to decide where we shall move legions or whom is in command. It would be useless."

Completely frustrated, Blasio eyes the curia.

Scipio eyes him back, unfaltering.

Or it would merely take a vote.

*Scipio takes his seat. Obviosly exhausted. His education ended years ago yet hes stuck in Rome, wasting his time because the senators wont send Rome's legions abroad. Why recruit them then? Shouldnt they be at home, farming their fields and making babies, then in the drilling fields? What kind of nation recruits armies then keeps them at home? Scipio decides to relax his throat, and start making friends and alliances to get his rank above a mere legatus. First he needs to get out of this city though.*
